Synopsis
Outstanding analysis of the last decade of American wrestling, following teh four major North American promotions through the perspectives of storyline, character and business decisions., As wrestling dominated the pop culture airwaves in the late 90s, wrestlers like The Rock and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin became international cultural icons. But, by the turn of the millennium, wrestling began its downward descent. In early 2001, both WCW and ECW closed its doors and were bought out by WWE, whose fortunes hit the skids shortly after, despite their virtual monopoly. In 2002, a new group rose from the ashes of WCW and ECW -- Total Nonstop Action Wrestling. Between the Ropes examines the last decade of pro wrestling, looking at its unprecedented popularity surge that transformed it into a legitimate billion-dollar business, and the decision-making follies that put WWE back down on the mat. It examines the upstart TNA, and its current position on the cusp of a national breakthrough. Fritz and Murray study the four organizations, their rise and fall from a business, storyline, and character standpoint. Also included from the authors' show Between the Ropes are insights from major wrestling stars like The Rock, Hulk Hogan, "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, Ric Flair, Vince McMahon, Mick Foley, Bret Hart, Sting, Eric Bischoff, Chris Jericho, Rob Van Dam, and Shane Douglas., The power players behind the wildly popular and often controversial world of professional wrestling are examined in this chronological look at the past 10 years of wrestling entertainment., An examination of the last decade of pro wrestling, looking at both the unprecedented surge in mass appeal that turned it into a billion-dollar business and the decision-making follies that put it back down on the mat. Fritz and Murray analyse the four major North American promotions, following their exploits from business, storyline and character standpoints. Major wrestling stars like The Rock, Steve Austin and Hulk Hogan add their unique, firsthand insights to complete a telling mix.

    Photo was out of stock, but I was messaged about a replacement photo + bonus. So glad I accepted their generous offer of replacement. The replacement photo is awesome, with a similar green color scheme and WWE images. The bonus was even better with ECW theme. Items are of high quality, and signatures are clear and vibrant. Package arrived in bubble envelope and cardboard inserts which kept items in excellent condition. Would highly recommend this 5-Star seller. Thank you very much!
